Choosing the right paper One of the keys to getting great results with your ink jet printer is selecting the right paper. Paper absorbency is an especially important consideration. With paper that is too absorbent, the ink can bleed slightly, causing characters to blur. However, with paper that is not absorbent enough, the ink may take too long to dry and smear easily. The finish and thickness of the paper are also important. Avoid paper that has a rough finish or a slick, coated finish. Also, avoid paper that is too thick or too thin. See the paper specifications in the Appendix for more information. Most correspondence-quality paper works in your printer without problems. However, it is a good practice to test any paper or envelopes in your printer before buying large quantities. Setting Up Your Printer 1-3

Choosing the right paper
One of the keys to getting great results with your ink jet printer
is selecting the right paper. Paper absorbency is an especially
important consideration. With paper that is too absorbent, the
ink can bleed slightly, causing characters to blur. However,
with paper that is not absorbent enough, the ink may take too
long to dry and smear easily.
The finish and thickness of the paper are also important. Avoid
paper that has a rough finish or a slick, coated finish. Also,
avoid paper that is too thick or too thin. See the paper
specifications in the Appendix for more information.
Most correspondence-quality paper works in your printer
without problems. However, it is a good practice to test any
paper or envelopes in your printer before buying large
quantities.
